LIE 20 EXAMINED.
The Horse Thief Charged with .njuring
the County Jail.

Chas. Leroy, horse thief, would-be
Jail breaker and suspected highwayman.
was arraigned before Judge Lee yesterday
charged with saving bars of the outer cage
at the county Jail. The prisoner appeared
cool and collected and at his own desire
was allowed to conduct the defense.
United States Attorney Campbell repre-
sented the prosecution.
. The first witness was Sheriff Sharpless.
He had received two saws from Ketchum
and Germs, which the latter claimed they
had found in the cell formerly occupied by
LIE Roy, and firmly believed that the
horse thief had attempted to saw his way
to liberty. The saws had been manufact-
ured from steel shoe springs.
Sam Raley was sworn. Leroy had
said to him: Sam. | suppose you know
we're trying to get out of here in case we
get cinched. You'll keep quiet, won't
you2" Sam replied: There's no use
OF me keeping mum. S~harpless and
Smalley are onto you already" He had
not seen Leroy working, but believed
that the horse thief was forming a plan:
with others, to escape.
Fl. Haas, the blacksmith, was next
called. He had repaired a severed bar in
the county Jail. While working Leroy
had approached him and said: You see
I've got you a Job" Yes, I'm glad of
it" laughingly responded Mr.. Haas. sit
ism the last time you'll be called here,
either" continued Leroy. Then the
horse thief became facetious and re-
marked: ''You ought to furnish me cigars
for keeping you at work"
Phil Watson, who is held charged with
being accessory to the murder of Charles
Gum by VIM. Mccoy, testified for the
defense. Watson is a fine looking fellow
and was tastefully clothed in a handsome
black suit. OF his own knowledge he
was unable to say who did the saving,
but Bob Herald, who had been held in
this city for some time and afterwards
taken to Salt Lake, told the witness and
several other prisoners that he, Herald,
had done the saving, and had declared
that if allowed TO proceed unmolested for
twenty four hours longer he would have
succeeded in liberating all the sheriff
pets.
Richard Brennan, the man who has an
unconquerable desire to appropriate every
overcoat he encounters, corroborated
Watson's testimony in regard to what
Bob Herald had said.
In default of a bond to the amount of
$500 Leroy was again locked up.

BECK VS..
The Trial of Watch Stealing Case by
Judge Lee Yesterday.

The Wallace-Beck watch larceny case
was tried before Judge Lee yesterday
with a large audience in attendance. The
plaintiff, defendant and several witnesses
were examined. The prisoner testified
chat he had no intention of stealing the
~timepiece, but that on the Sunday of his
disappearance he had lost a charm from
the chain, and for the purpose of conceal
ing his carelessness from the fair plaintiff
had told her that the watch was In pawn.
That evening, so Wallace says, he went
to the depot in search of a gentleman
who had found the charm. While at the
depot he was persuaded by one Ike More
house, who was ehroute to Bellevue, Ida
no, to accompany the latter. He conse-
quently left, intending to return, and
supposed that the lady would not object
to his wearing the ticker during the trip.
Mrs. Beck blushingly arose in the
crowded room and told her little story
without much hesitation. She had al
lowed the defendant to wear the watch
for the past three months, but had never
given it to him, nor signifed her willing
ness that it should be placed in pawn.
She was fully convinced that Wallace
intended to steal her iewelry. Wallace
had written to her from Bellevue, but
signified no intention of returning the
watch or again dwelling in Cheyenne.
VIM. Hubbs was next sworn. He had
seen the watch in the possession of Wal
lace on numerous occasions. He heard
the prisoner say hat it was the property
of Mrs. Beck. Didn't know that Wallace
intended to leave town.
Attorney Campbell made a short argu-
ment for the prosecution, which was re-
sponded to by 7. NJ. Fisher. After con-
sidering the matter for a few minutes,
Judge Fisher placed Wallace under $500
bonds to appear before the district court.
Mrs. Beck and VIM. Hub were each
held in the sun of 500 to appear as wit,
nesses. Hubbs and the handsome plaintiff
secured bondsmen, while the prisoner was
committed to the county jail. His at
torney Immediately sued for a writ of
habeas corpus, which was obtained and
the hearing set for l o'clock this after
noon.

A Barber shop Incident.

A trio of Sixteenth street BARRIERS had
a high old time with a curious customer
Yesterday, About two o'clock a well
dressed man entered the establishment
and handed the genius who presided over
the first chair the following card:
II am deaf and dumb. | want a shave
and a hair cut. That's ALL"
The operator hadn't finished tucking a
towel around his victims neck when one
of his co-workers remarked:
Look out there Bill, you'll drop your
razor in his ear"
Then another Immediately Clipped In
and said Don't use any lather on him.
Hot water is the proper caper in remov-
ing hog bristles."
This was followed by another sally to
the effect that "a case knife was usually
used in scraping such specimens"
When the worker began to cut the
mute's hair, the guying began in earnest.
Go get a hay rake and comb it in the
style he's accustomed to-" said one.
Suo ~ Will d lluSC III luG CGuIeIt IuGu
he'll look like a red-headed game cock, I"
suggested another animated photograph.
His wife must have cut it bias the
last time" wonder where he escaped
from?" and other equally complimentary
remarks followed in due time, and even
the unoffending spectators were becoming
weary.
At last the tonsorial artist finished his
work, and as the supposed deaf and
dumb customer arose and handed one of
his prosecutors a tour-bit piece, he smil-
ingly remarked: I'm glad you've en-
ioyed yourselves, boys; I've had an ele-
giant time, and will call again"
The discontinue and chagrin of those
windy BARRIERS can be much better imag-
ined than described. One thing is sure,
however, they will be a trife wary of
deaf mutes hereafter.

The most vigorous constitution, and the
strongest physique, are not proof against
a disease, the germs Of which impregnate
the air we breath and the water we drink.
The true preparative, the surest defense,
is to fortify the system with a medicine
which possesses specific virtues as a safe
guard and remedy. Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters is precisely this article-proved by
conclusive tests to be so. Not only on
this continent, wherever miasma gives
birth to the malarial infection, but in the
tropics, where fever and ague assumes its
most malignant types, this incompatible,
popular aud deserving medicine has, for
over a third of a century shown its eff
cacy. Chills and fever, dumb ague, bilious
remittent alike yield to its influence and
are prevented by it. The word fall has
no place in the lexicon of possibilities
when this peerless article is used. 1t tones
the stomach, arouses the liver when slug.
gish, and promotes healthful activity OF
the kidneys and bladder.

oHEYENNE,s CATHOLIC BISHOP,
Making a New Head for a New Wyo-
ming Diocese.

A second edition of new Catholic do
cese news arrived by Associated Press
last evening. 1t was as follows:
ROME, July Among the American
bishops appointed to-day was Rev.
Maurice Bourke, of Cheyenne.
As the best authority on such matters
in Cheyenne the Rev. Father Smith, OF
st. Johns Catholic church, was. called
upon. The reverend gentleman said that
a year ago a recommendation had been
made to Rome to divide the present
catholic diocese of Omaha into three
parts, thus giving Lincoln, Neb., and
Cheyenne each a bishop. Wyoming
would thus be placed under the jurisdic-
ton of the bishop stationed here, which
is considered desirable from many stand
points. AS to whether this had been
done Father Smith could not positively
say, but was inclined to wait until the
official order came before giving the state
ment credence. As to Father Maurice
Bourke, who is said to have received the
appointment, he knew nothing OF him.
There was a Rev. NJ. f. Bourke stationed
at Joliet, ILL.,, and priests named
Bourke, though with different initials, al
st. Louis, Mo-, Alton, Ill, Albany, N.
Y, and Louisville, Ky.

The first locoed dog of the season made
its appearance in the Crow creek fats
yesterday. The owner of the animal is
unknown, but it is a well established fact
that it well nigh created a panic in that
neighborhood until Al. Waters, aided by
a shot gun, put an end to its existence.
The first excitement was on lower Six
teenth street, where the Infatuated animal
bit several of its kind and snapped vi
%ciously at a number of women and chill
dren. Only one person was bitten, how.
ever, a 5-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. F.
j. Joslin. The child is now under the
care of a physician, and will 10 all proba-
bility recover, though quite severely
wounded.

NEARLY KILLED.
Freighter Hunter Narrowly Escapes
Being Kicked to Death.

A freighter named Hunter, who is the
owner of two four mule teams, has been
camped on the romantic shores of Lake
Mahpahlutah. Hunter has on numerous
occasions made the boast that during a
career of fifteen years in the long distance
transfer business he had never been
troubled by vicious mules, and has often
intImated that the animals usually select
s~oft-headed individuals for their victims.
He is now willing to admit that he has
been laboring under a false impression,
and is convinced by experience that a mule
is no respecter of persons. Mr.. Hunters
adventure was related to a reporter last
evening as the freighter cursed and felt of
loose teeth between sentences, and sound
ed something like this:
you see, I've got an old bell mare
that's been in the business for fifteen
years, and has always been as gentle as a
kitten and as docile as a convicted Doodle
alderman. | can't imagine what in the
world possessed her to depart from her
usual good behavior, but she did, as you
can see by gazing on myself"
"Yes," interrupted the reporter, you
look as though you had been persuaded
by a Denver policeman.
Il reckon L do look pretty tough"
continued the cripple. Just as 1 APP
preached that old hypocrite of a mule
with her nose bag full of grain about
supper time, she suddenly wheeled and
planted both of her business limbs along
my left side and landed me against an ice
house fully fifteen feet away. Not con-
tent with that the long cared son of a gun
followed up and struck me in the face,
and l guess | would have been killed
right there if my partner hadn't inter
fered with a club"
AS he limped away Mr.. Hunter declared
that it was his intention to swap them
pesky mules for horses" at the earliest OPP
portunity, and anyone who sees a man
on the street to-day wrapped up like a
sore thumb, won't blame him.

A Lively Runaway.

AS a vegetable dealer named Geo.
Reynolds was driving across the ball
grounds south of the track his horses be-
came frightened at the noise made by
some boys, and started across the country
at a rafting pace. They ran to Central
avenue, and then returned to the foot Of
Eddy street, and the whole outfit was pre-.
cipitated over the bluff above Crow creek
at that point. Reynolds was dragged
from beneath the wreck and did not re-
owe consciousness for four hours. The
wagon was ruined and one horse so badly
injured that it became necessary to kill
the animal.
